Video interview: Angie Harmon talks to CBS about her UNICEF trip!

Right before Angie Harmon took off for her first field visit as a new UNICEF ambassador in January her three daughters said, "Please give the children a hug."

During her week in Nicaragua, Harmon witnessed UNICEF's child protection programs, including a peer-to-peer mentorship program where art is used to help protect kids from violence and exploitation.

"It's basically about protecting those kids, trying to keep them off the streets -- trying to educate them on what trafficking is," the 41-year-old actress said during a recent visit to CBS News. "We have so much that we take for granted -- I know I do -- in this country and then when you go and see the poverty in other countries...it just makes you come back and appreciate things so much more."
